    French turnover. Booted out. All over.

    13-15. French win by the skin of their teeth.

      France were a long way below par there. Ireland must be disappointed that they created so little with so much ball. Their attack didn't challenge the French defence much.

        No better day to beat France but Ireland played the game in the wrong areas

        Should have kicked the leather off the ball and pinned France back at every opportunity - hence the Murray and Sexton comment earlier.

          Dulin named Man of the Match, I'd have gone with Marchand or Alldritt.

                Both French tries came from a defensive error by a kiwi poach

                Rucks were a bit strange in this game, the ref was really lenient on letting the attacking player hold on

                      If the tournament remains in it's current no crowd state then yeah, but I think I'd much rather a jaunt to Rome than to Cardiff to see my team play...

                            2 weeks to next game so good chance of testing negative before then.

                                      Two staff members of the French rugby team have tested positive, and one of them is head coach Fabien Galthié!

                                      The players have so far all tested negative, but will again be tested on Wednesday and Friday (local time).
